A nurse on an acute care unit receives a request from a client's provider to fax a laboratory report to his office. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Complete an incident report and notify the nursing supervisor.

Direct the provider to the admissions department for the information.

Place a cover sheet on top of the document indicating the recipient.

Fax the complete medical record to the provider's office.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Complete an incident report and notify the nursing supervisor. Completing an incident report and notifying the supervisor is not required for routine tasks like faxing a laboratory report.
B. Direct the provider to the admissions department for the information. Directing the provider to another department is not necessary for this task and does not address the specific request to fax the report.
C. Place a cover sheet on top of the document indicating the recipient. This is the correct action. A cover sheet helps protect patient confidentiality by indicating the intended recipient and purpose of the fax, ensuring secure transmission.
D. Fax the complete medical record to the provider's office. Faxing the complete medical record is inappropriate unless specifically requested. Only the relevant laboratory report should be sent to maintain patient confidentiality and comply with privacy regulations.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

To calculate the BMI:

Convert weight to kilograms: 90 kg (198 lb)
Convert height to meters: 160 cm = 1.6 m
Use the BMI formula: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2

BMI = 90 / (1.6)^2 BMI = 90 / 2.56 BMI ≈ 35.2

A. Overweight: Overweight is typically classified with a BMI from 25 to 29.9. This BMI is higher.
B. Extremely obese: The term "extremely obese" is not commonly used. The classification for a BMI above 40 would be "extremely obese."
C. Normal: A normal BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9. The calculated BMI is higher than this range.
D. Obese: A BMI of 35.2 falls into the category of obesity (30 to 39.9).

A. Spaghetti with meat sauce, Cantaloupe, green bean and a glass of milk B. Chicken with cream sauce and milk C. Chicken, mashed potatoes D. Chicken with cream sauce, asparagus, and a glass of milk E. Chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, brown rice, tomato slices and a glass of milk

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Spaghetti with meat sauce, cantaloupe, green beans, and a glass of milk This meal represents a balanced MyPlate meal by including grains (spaghetti), protein (meat sauce), fruits (cantaloupe), vegetables (green beans), and dairy (milk).
B. Chicken with cream sauce, and milk This meal lacks variety and does not include fruits, vegetables, or grains, making it less balanced.
C. Chicken, mashed potatoes This meal lacks fruits and vegetables, and does not include a dairy component.
D. Chicken with cream sauce, asparagus, and a glass of milk This meal lacks a grain component.
E. Chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, brown rice, tomato slices, and a glass of milk While balanced, this meal is more complex and not typical of the simpler MyPlate guideline.
